I like your style of writing, the way you construct your sentences. I've never seen anything quite like it. It reminds me of reading an old book, perhaps one written before 1950. I like Ann more and more. At first, I was utterly mystified by her. In chapter 2, she simply picked up Wendell from behind a flower as if it were the most natural thing in the world. No surprise at the existance of such a tiny human. She seemed unbelieveable. But now I see her personality is one of calm calculation, objective analysis of the situation, and she proceeds through life with a sense of unshakable logic mixed with controlled curiosity. I feel she is a genius with a dramatically reduced capacity to express emotion. Perhaps she opens up a bit more later in the story.
Author's Response:
And you have quite an intuitive analysis of the character. Yes, I was trying to emulate older writing styles, and particularly the expressions used by teenage cartoon super heroes in the 1960s, although the bulk of the story is set in 1953. Her emotions will show at times too. Talking to a tiny guy and a robot for most of the dialog makes for an interesting dynamic.
